manchesterpaul Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Will this meeting only 1 week away, does anybody have the final line up? The eurosport website for it still only has; Australia: 1.Holder. 2. ? Reserve: ? USA: 1.Hancock. 2.Fisher. Reserve: ? Poland: 1.Hampel. 2.Gollob. Reserve: Adrian Denmark: 1. N Pedersen. 2. ? Reserve: ? Czech: 1.A Dryml. 2.L Dryml. Reserve: ? Russia: 1.Emil. 2. G Laguta. Reserve: A Laguta Sweden: 1.Lindback. 2.AJ. Reserve: ? Can anybody fill in the blanks? X Eastbourne have confirmed that Dryml is riding for them sat night so they are not sure why his name shows on this site as riding with his brother. Do they have teams sorted? The official website has an even more improbable line-up listed as of today 5th June 10:30am BST. AUSTRALIA 1. Chris Holder 2. Darcy Ward!!! (he's injured isn't he?) 3. ??? CZECH REPUBLIC 1. Ales Dryml 2. Lukas Dryml!!! (forgot that mdmc82 mentioned Eastbourne said he's riding for them on Saturday) 3. ??? DENMARK 1. Nicki Pedersen!!!(he's injured isn't he? also declared he might be taking a month of and having treatment all week) 2. ??? 3. ??? POLAND 1. Tomasz Golllob 2. Jaroslaw Hampel 3. ??? RUSSIA 1. Emil Sayfutdinov 2. Grigory Laguta 3. Artem Laguta SWEDEN 1. Andreas Jonsson 2. Antonio Lindback 3. ??? USA 1. Greg Hancock 2. ??? 3. ???

SteveLyric2 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 The organisers need to get the riders sorted asap!! Darcy Ward will not be riding - he said as much at Cardiff on Saturday. Lukas Dryml riding for Eagles. Pedersen out injured. Poland (Miedzinski reserve) and Russia the only ones confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinuteWarning Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Ryan Fisher to partner Greg, I think? Jan Staechmann doing pits interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelsinline Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 This whole meeting seems to be getting a bit farcical. There doesn't seem to be much news/team information about it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even riders slated as appearing or potential to take part have scant mention of it on Twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 and believe me i've worn Google out and in several languages too. Even riders slated as appearing or potential to take part have scant mention of it on Twitter. Not correct, Holder and Lemon were talking about race-suits and Emil's had a video up. Here is a video.. and this one from 2 days ago with Emil : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krompa Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Confirmed lineups for Saturday (source One Sport Marketing). Sweden 1. Andreas Jonsson 2. Antonio Lindback 15. Peter Ljung Manager: Bosse Wirebrand AUSTRALIA 3. Chris Holder 4. Davey Watt 16. Manager: Travis McGowan USA 5. Greg Hancock 6. Ryan Fisher 17. Manager: Billy Hamill ROSJA 7. Emil Sayfutdinov 8. Grigorij Laguta 18. Artem Laguta Manager: Tomasz Suskiewicz CZECHY 9. Ales Dryml 10. Tomas Suchanek 19. MATEJ ZAGAR (guest) Manager: Milan Spinka POLSKA 11. Tomasz Gollob 12. Jarosław Hampel 20. Adrian Miedziński Manager: Marek Cieslak DANIA 13. Nicki Pedersen 14. Michael Jepsen Jensen 21. Hans Andersen Manager: Anders Secher Hopefully Nicki will be fit enough to ride as Motoarena track is normally pretty slick. Good stuff to use Zagar as a guest (Lukas, Franc, Milik not available) as Czechs looked poor without him. Poland and Russia strongest on paper with Denmark not far behind. Sweden and Australia able to be in the mix of course. USA with Greg and Fish I think will be joy to watch as well. All in all great meeting in prospect and personally can't wait!

moomin man 76 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Including Matej Zagar as part of the Czech team may make their line-up stronger, but it reduces the credibility of the event in my opinion, as one team is now a 'best of who's available line-up.' If the Czechs weren't able to field a strong enough team of their own, they shouldn't have been included in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Czechs weren't able to field a strong enough team of their own, they shouldn't have been included in the first place. It is a big show which hopefully will be big success for Eurosport (worldwide coverage to 71 countries). All we all should want is great racing as sport needs to be promoted that way. Zagar makes field stronger and personally I'm happy with that. There will always be some people like you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate with the event being staged in your home country you'll be defensive of it, but that's a little harsh, he has a valid point with which i agree with too. The 'farcical' aspect is easily solved, see below. It should still be a fantastic spectacle that only Poland could stage. I look forward to it hugely. Many thanks for giving us the 'confirmed' line-up although it's still not complete and i hope we are going to get an Australian reserve for Australia and an American reserve for America and not two local Polish riders! Including Matej Zagar as part of the Czech team may make their line-up stronger, but it reduces the credibility of the event in my opinion, as one team is now a 'best of who's available line-up.' If the Czechs weren't able to field a strong enough team of their own, they shouldn't have been included in the first place. Agree strongly that it devalues the event and that could have been avoided simply by calling the team Czech Rep/Slovenia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin man 76 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 If they were so determined to field a 'select' team, rather than solely a Czech team, they could have done a lot worse than asking Martin Vaculik to ride and label the team 'Czechoslovakia.' 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mama Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Typical British lamentations ... You are not able to organize such meeting, so "everything is wrong" ... One Sport Marketing decided to organized friendly tournament so they are only one who determines rules, line-up, etc. But I understand ... they "play on the nose" of British based BSI, so they are all evil ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveallan81 Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 According to the official website, there's a couple of minor alterations to the line-up from earlier: Troy Batchelor is at reserve for Australia, and Matej Zagar rides at number 10 for the Czechoslovenians with Tomas Suchanek at reserve. U.S.A. appear to have no third rider/reserve at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I am all in favour of this tournament being run, I do wish the organisers had chosen a date that had fewer fixture clashes!! Longtrack and GP qualifier all happening this weekend!!

Paleco Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 They should put together Vaculik and Žagar, people will think we are the same country, because 90% people still doesn"t know the difference beetween Slovenia and Slovakia, even in Europe. Last time in Gp quali in Germany they show Čonda under Slovakian flag. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagonshocker Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Would understand a bit if Matej was Slovakian but he's not! Ridiculous are there not any young up and coming Czech riders they could use....and the fact it is being held in Poland makes it all the more incredulous as if it was in Prague or somewhere then i may just about understand them wanting to not affect crowd figures...but they should have done what Moomin suggested and called them Czech/Slovakia ..left the o out on purpose for legal reasons lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all. I'm certainly no apologist for BSI and wish One Sport Marketing every success in this venture, as well as the revamped European Championship. However, their own decision to create a 'composite' Czech and Slovenian side undermines the credibility of the event, as it is no longer solely national sides taking part, which was the original purpose of the event. As it stands, the composition of the American and Australian sides is incomplete. Who will end up as the reserve riders for these teams? Polish reserves, riders from other nations, or none at all?
